We are finally nearing the end of post production and if everything goes according to plan, the film should be completed by the middle of June.

The composer is currently recording the score in New York; the final mix is being done in Bangkok next week, and after that the colour correction, NTSC conversion and tape transfer will take take place in London. A truly cosmopolitan process!

It would be great if we could sit back and relax, but by all accounts we are only half way there. The distribution and promotion will consist of at least a year on the festival circuit, in addition to special screenings and fundraising events. We certainly need to raise more money as our budget is completely exhausted.

We hope to have a preview DVD available within the next couple of months.

Editing of the film is nearly complete and we're looking for someone who can proof read all of the existing English subtitles against the spoken Thai dialogue. As a reward, you will be the first person to see the film! You need to be a native English speaker with an excellent level of spoken Thai. There is also a small amount of Isaan.

It shouldn't take too long to complete, maybe 3 or 4 hours at most. We're also still looking for people to help translate from English to other languages (especially Russian).

It's taken a while to produce the website for the film and it's something we should have had long before. Bet later than never I guess. One of the hardest things with a new site is getting it noticed and obtaining a good ranking in Google. Apparently, the best way to ensure that your site is 'search engine friendly' is to have other sites link to you, so don't be shy in setting up a link to our site!

Apart from the normal information you would expect to find here, there are also a few extras that are worth looking at. We have partnered with IndieGoGo, a crowd sourcing specialist, to help raise funds for the final part of post production and outreach. It's a relatively new idea that allows filmmakers and musicians to raise funds for their projects without relying on the traditional sources such as distributors and broadcasters.

The idea is that lots of people give small amounts instead of relying on a few big sponsors. One of the attractions of using this method is that people receive various perks depending on the amount given. Our page at IndieGoGo.

Tied in with this is our members only section on the website. This is an area for people who have contributed and will mainly feature sequences that are not in the main film. With over 160 hours of footage there will be plenty of good scenes that don't make it! Some of them will find their way on to the DVD extras but we want to keep most of it exclusively for our members and supporters.

The other area on our website worth looking at is our special widget. It's a little application that anyone can include on their website, blog, Facebook profile or even their email footer. It includes details of the film, direct viewing of the trailer, recent news and a photo slideshow. The great thing about it is that once it's installed on other sites the information  can easily be updated or changed by us. This way we can change the trailer, pictures, include screening dates etc... The installation process is straight forward and can be done by non-technical people.

We will continue to add to the website so don't forget to bookmark us or add our RSS feed. We also have a Facebook page which will pull in all of the latest news.

Let us know if you have any comments or suggestions.

The issues in the film are a global problem so we would like the film to be made available to an international audience. It is relatively simple for us to include additional language subtitles on a DVD.

Each language will require two volunteers; one to do the initial translation and the second person to proof read it. Obviously, the main translation will take more time. You need to be translating into your first language and have a good standard of English.

These are some of the languages we would like translated to;
Italian, Dutch, French, Portuguese, Danish, Swedish, Finnish, Greek, Norwegian, Russian, Turkish, Polish, Romanian, Hungarian, Cantonese, Japanese,  Korean, Vietnamese, Malay, Burmese, Indonesian,  Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi,

Feel  free to suggest others!

While we can't offer any financial rewards we will certainly credit you on the film and the website. We have been very fortunate as many of our crew are either working for free or at a reduced rate. The film couldn't have been made otherwise! Please get in touch through the contacts page if you can help
